CANDLELIGHT VIGIL TO
SUPPORT OUR TROOPS
PROTEST THE HANGING OF
US SOLDIER IN EFFIGY
Move America Forward Announces Candlelight Vigil to Support Our Troops in Sacramento Neighborhood Where a U.S. Soldier Has Been Hanged (Again) in Effigy
(SACRAMENTO) – The national organization that supports our troops and the war against terrorism, Move America Forward (website:
www.MoveAmericaForward.org), has announced a candlelight vigil (7-10 PM on Tuesday evening) to support our troops and to protest the hanging of a soldier in effigy by a couple that resides part-time in the Sacramento area.
The anti-war display hung at the home of Steve and Virginia Pearcy includes a Palestinian and Iraqi flag. This is the second time this week that the couple has hung a U.S. soldier in effigy. Earlier the couple shamefully hung a soldier by a noose with a sign that read “Your Tax Dollars at Work.” The new sign says “Bush Lied. I Died.”
Move America Forward supports the right of free speech. However, the right to speak freely does not mean all words or sentiments should be warmly embraced. The hateful messages that undermine our troops should be treated the same as the hate that spews from the likes of KKK members – we must step forward and make it clear that these voices of hate do not speak for our greater community, and that we will reject them through peaceful assemblies of the community.
WHAT: Move America Forward will conduct a candlelight vigil to support our troops and register our opposition and disgust with the hateful ‘soldier hanged in effigy’ display at the home of Steve and Virginia Pearcy.
WHO: Residents of the Sacramento Area who support our brave troops.
Move America Forward’s members (over 100,000 of whom reside in California)

I put it to all that it should be obvious to everyone that the soldier hung in effigy is
BLACK and therefore the Pearcys are obviously guilty of a
HATE CRIME! [and no letting them try and say otherwise] and thus they should be arrested and forfeit their house.
I'm sure if everyone who attends the candlelight vigil Tues eve unaminously declares that this is so, [and spreads the word to every blogger and talkshow host] --that the Pearcy's are guilty of a hate crime,-- even their leftist neighbors in Berkeley would take notice and declare the Peary's guilty.
So how about it? Is the effigy that of a black soldier or not?
